Roosevelt and Churchill: Men of Secrets
| AUTHOR | Stafford, David |
| PUBLISHER | Independently Published (11/24/2022) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Description
Their unique relationship was based on linked national histories and partially shared nationality - Churchill was half American - similarities in class and education, a love for the navy, and a common belief in the superiority of Anglo-Saxon institutions. It was cemented by shared enemies: Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. On these foundations, Churchill and Roosevelt constructed a fighting alliance unlike any other in history. But at the heart of this special relationship, hidden by layers of secrecy, was a far-reaching sharing of intelligence that was the most sensitive touchstone of their mutual trust. In Roosevelt and Churchill: Men of Secrets, David Stafford draws on recently declassified information and his own specialist understanding of intelligence to illuminate the relationship between two men who, as leaders and allies, were towering figures of twentieth-century history. Praise for Roosevelt and Churchill: Men of Secrets:
